JAR malignant trophoblast cells produce a free .alpha. subunit in addition to an .alpha. combined with .beta.-subunit as hCG [human chorionic gonadotropin]. The free .alpha. is larger by gel chromatography and SDS-PAGE [sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis] than combined .alpha. and is unable to associate with .beta.-subunit to form hCG. A tryptic fragment, representing amino acid residues 36-42, derived from free .alpha. was larger than the corresponding fragment from combined .alpha.. After neuraminidase treatment, the fragment from free .alpha. bound peanut lectin agarose, which is specific for Gal.beta.1-3GalNAc as found in O-linked oligosaccharides. The fragment also contained Gal and GalNAc (and a lesser amount of GlcNAc) as determined by glycosidase sensitivity and amino sugar analyses. Removal of this tryptic fragment ablated the size difference between free and combined .alpha.-subunits.
